John C. McGinley

"Ground Floor," which premieres Thursday on TBS, is a serviceable three-camera comedy from Bill Lawrence, who co-created "Cougar Town" and created "Scrubs," and Greg Malins, who has writing and producing credits on "Friends," "How I Met Your Mother" and "2 Broke Girls."

It is an old-fashioned sitcom fashioned for young people, which is to say, there is dating, a surfeit of sex jokes, many of which actually include the word "sex," and only one main character older than 30. The venue being basic cable, there are also words you will not have heard on the sitcoms mentioned above.
